Every domain has domain terms: specialized knowledge and vocabulary.

Within payments, "transactions," "reversibility," "revocability," and "escrow" have definitions. Since BitCoin is in this space, I'd expect an article to use the domain terms from this space.

Yes, if you re-define these terms to mean something more colloquial, it may look like that. If you squint. But that doesn't make it not look amateurish.
